Solve (-2)(-2)+(-4)^2/(-1)^3(-2)

$$\frac { ( - 2 ) ( - 2 ) + ( - 4 ) ^ { 2 } } { ( - 1 ) ^ { 3 } ( - 2 ) }$$

Evaluate

$$10$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -2 and -2 to get 4.

$$\frac{4+\left(-4\right)^{2}}{\left(-1\right)^{3}\left(-2\right)}$$

Calculate -4 to the power of 2 and get 16.

$$\frac{4+16}{\left(-1\right)^{3}\left(-2\right)}$$

Add 4 and 16 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{\left(-1\right)^{3}\left(-2\right)}$$

Calculate -1 to the power of 3 and get -1.

$$\frac{20}{-\left(-2\right)}$$

Multiply -1 and -2 to get 2.

$$\frac{20}{2}$$

Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.

$$10$$

Factor

$$2\times 5$$
